diminutions of sovereignty

The United States of America this week introduced a requirement that Irish passengers intending to travel to the USA, give at least 72 hours notification in advance.
This represents a sea change in the normally close ties between the two countries.
Irish visitors to the United States have in the past been welcomed without any such requirements regarding prior notification.

The announcement of the new policy follows the recent detention by the Americans of an 18 year old with an Irish passport who was arrested at a terrorist safe house in Baghdad. The 18 year old is the son of Iraqi Arabs but has an Irish passport. His family has lived in Ireland since the early 1990s. Our collossally stupid Irish government has for some unfathomable reason furnished them all with Irish passports.
I do not understand why my government is allowing Arab terrorists to call themselves Irish.
The Irish government has issued at least 20,000 passports to Muslims.
The pro-immigration Irish Times admits that there are 40,000 Muslims living in Ireland.
My analysis is that the real figure is likely to be close to 100,000.
But hey.
Only 20,000 of them have passports.

The closest we've had to an explanation for this curiously generous Irish government policy of issuing passports to Arabs, has come through the vaguest of media reports.
Again if we go back to the early 1990s we see the first significant disbursal of Irish passports to Arabs.
At the time a Saudi sheikh received an Irish passport after making a donation of a million pounds to the Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Albert Reynolds.
Albert Reynolds denied that he knew the Saudi's million pounds had been paid to Albert Reynolds' pet food company which at the time was managed by Albert Reynolds' son.

Question.
How many Irish politicians have been purchased by Arab terrorists?

Question 2.
How many Irish judges have been purchased by Arab terrorists?

The Americans have decided not to wonder about these questions any longer.

The Irish government policy of issuing passports to Arab Muslims who smuggle themselves into our country is now for the first time affecting our relationships with long term allies.
It is also putting us on the wrong side of history.
